HydrogenPro to establish manufacturing capacity in Texas, US

WHAT

• Establishing new manufacturing capacity in Texas, US with an initial capacity of 500 MW (stage 1) with potential to scale up capacity to several gigawatts

WHY

  • The US has become market leader on green hydrogen following the IRA, and thus become HydrogenPro's top priority
  • Serving the US market as the only viable large-scale high-pressure alkaline technology provider
  • Contracts and active sales pipeline > 5 GW

HOW

  • After an extensive strategic review Texas is chosen as state of location based on several criteria (access to site and skilled workers, infrastructure, ease of sourcing raw materials, proximity to end-users and incentive programmes)
  • Build-up of US organization ongoing

Est. capex up to \$50M for 500 MW facility in Texas, US

Capital investment for 500 MW brownfield manufacturing site (\$M)

10 Source: Market research. Note 1: land and building to be leased. Note 2: potential federal and state incentives not included.

Exclusive supplier to ACES1 project: the world's largest green hydrogen energy hub

  • 220 MW electrolysis plant
  • HydrogenPro has also signed a 10-year service and support agreement
  • The Advanced Clean Energy Storage Hub will use renewable energy sources
  • HydrogenPro will complete the manufacturing of the electrolyser systems in H2 2023, followed by on-site work with completion in late 2024

FEED study near completion at DG Fuels project in Louisiana - Final Investment Decision (FID) expected in 2023

  • HydrogenPro is chosen as the supplier for high-pressure alkaline electrolysers for DG Fuels' plant in Louisiana
  • HydrogenPro's contract with DG Fuels is worth >USD 500 million, excluding life cycle services
  • DG Fuels has sold out 100% of the expected initial production at the Louisiana plant in the US >\$50m

II. Market update

Substantial demand for industrial green hydrogen generation ahead of us

Three major market trends: size matters!

Demand focus on large-scale solutions; average size 10MW a few years ago, now several hundred MW per project

Larger end-users with higher likelihood of reaching FID

Green hydrogen outperforms other hydrogen sources/colours

HydrogenPro strategically positioned to benefit from the major market trends

Increased momentum for green hydrogen in the US

US Congress passed the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) August 12, 2022

Wind/solar/hydro power is a pre-requisite to maximise tax credit

High-pressure alkaline or PEM electrolysis

IRA boosts US demand for clean hydrogen1

Low carbon hydrogen2 final energy demand by end use (million metric tons per year)

Tax incentives and clean H2 demand makes HydrogenPro's high-pressure alkaline electrolysers attractive for US market

1) Data from global management consulting firm 15 2) Green, blue, and pink hydrogen

Significant investment required in manufacturing capacity to meet future green hydrogen demand

Green hydrogen growth in IEA Net Zero Scenario MT H2 per year

III. Strategy

Becoming #1 provider of large-scale green hydrogen technology & systems

Four strategic pillars to become #1 provider of large-scale green hydrogen technology & systems

  • The initial test of the world's largest high-pressure alkaline electrolyser at the Herøya Industrial Park located in Porsgrunn, Norway is completed
  • Our single 5.5 MW electrolyser has been validated to produce 1,100 Nm3/h hydrogen at normal current density. This equals 100 kg of pure green pressurized hydrogen per hour, which sets a new standard for the industry
  • The test provides proof-of-concept that our electrolyser and gas separator technologies will produce hydrogen on a large scale
  • Further testing to optimise electrolyser efficiency on-going

Herøya Industrial Park, Porsgrunn

IV. Financials

Financial roadmap to scale up globally and generate industry-leading returns

Q4 2022 financials

UNAUDITED FIGURES

  • Q4 2022 results impacted by R&D expenses (through increased COGS), organisational build-up to deliver on purchase orders and COVID-19 measures in China
  • Change in backlog is mainly impacted by negative FX fluctuations of NOK 76 mill. and recognised revenues of NOK 26 mill.

1) Excl. non-cash impact of incentive program

Q4 2022 financials (cont.)

UNAUDITED FIGURES

• Build-up of inventory of NOK 34 mill during the quarter for manufacturing on awarded purchase orders

2023 financials outlook

  • Gradual step-up in revenue recognition as manufacturing activity ramps up to full capacity
  • Re-iterating guidance: HydrogenPro to recognise ~90% of the ACES contract revenues (>\$50M) by the end of 2023 - with a positive margin impact
  • Working capital need to deliver on purchase orders in H1 2023, but adequate cash position at current activity level

Well positioned to scale up and generate industry-leading returns

Lean and cost competitive set-up

  • Cost leadership through highly competitive global manufacturing cost
  • Standardized product offering enabling cost savings through larger deliveries and continued improvement
  • Lean administrative set-up
  • Administrative, commercial and technical resources in close proximity to major endusers
